Chapter Thirty

The Final Show Down: Bring Down The Beast!
The Dragon Towered over her, sending chills through her body.
Blue Eyes White Dragon...
She thought to herself.
So this is what it feels like to be staring one down...
Blue Eyes White Dragon:
ATK: 3000
DEF: 2500
That's right Connar...Blue Eyes White Dragon stands between you and your chance at a come back.
Kaiba thought to himself as he smirked.
What now Connar? What will you do?
"I can't believe dad would give you his very best card..."
Mokuba chuckled and gave her a warm smile.
"It's his dream to one day give it to you too, Connie." her Uncle said with a gentle smile,"But you have to earn it...and I'm afraid you're just not there yet...nor will you be here anymore after this attack."
This is it...!
Connar whimpered and prepared to take a hit until a familiar voice echoed in her mind.
" ! Do not give up yet!"
Kaibaman!? Is that you!?
But...I saw you disappear when Uncle Mokey used that spell-
"We are still connected ! No rules of a game will change that! Also...this duel isn't over yet!"
Connar blinked a moment to re-establish her situation.
That's right...my face downs!
She beamed.
I can't believe I almost forgot about them!
I Guess seeing dad's dragon like that just over whelmed me...
She smiled.
Thanks...Partner.
Hmm...Connar's smiling.
Kaiba blinked as he watched his child stare down his dragon with a grin.
I wonder...what are you planning, Connar Rose?
"I don't know why you're smiling." Mokuba grinned,"You blew your last chance~ White Lightning Attack!"
"Not Today, Uncle Mokey!" She snapped as she flipped over her trap,"Negate Attack!"
"Tch...Lucky save." her uncle grumped ending his turn with another face down.
Lucky save indeed...
She thought to herself and slowly released a held in breath...
Now let's just hope Luck will stay with me long enough for me to turn this duel around!
She huffed a heavy puff of a breath as she drew her card and examined the moves she could make.
No matter how I look at it...I don't have anything in my hand that can stand up to Blue Eyes...
She sighed.
But...I might be able to work out something else!
I'm just gonna need a little time...
"I'll start by setting a monster, and "I'll end my turn with that."
Slow and steady Connar...
The Game's not over yet!
"Quick finish Connar...But I'm afraid you're only prolonging the inevitable." said Mokuba as he drew his card and prepared his next move.
No Monster this time...
He thought to himself.
That's okay...This already feels like over kill.
He sighed. Even Mokuba felt a little odd about using his brother's most famous beast...
But Seto wanted to make sure I pulled no punches...
"I'll attack your face down monster with Griffore!" he claimed.
But Connar was prepared for that too.
"Waboku!?" Mokuba grunted and narrowed his eyes,"Using the tricks I taught you to their full advantage I see." he huffed,"You know, being on the other side of that...is kind of annoying."
Connar giggled.
"Well what can I say, Uncle Mokey...you taught me well."
"Heh...yeah I guess I did." he chuckled,"Your move then."
Connar took in a deep breath before drawing her card.
Come on Lady luck...hold out for me one more time...so I can turn it all around on my next turn.
She thought to herself and smiled.
"I will place one more face down monster in Defense mode." she stated,"Make this turn count Uncle Mokey, because on my next turn, I vow to flip the tables on you!"
"We'll just see about that!" Mokuba huffed as he took this turn,"I'll just go on and summon Krocodialus!"
Krokodialus:
ATK: 1100
DEF: 1200
"And I'll come at you again, There's no way you will be able to stop all of my attacks."
She smirked as she flipped over another one of her face down traps.
"Really? Did you forget about the effects of Negate Attack? Or did you just forget that I had two of them!?"
"Dammit!" he huffed,"That really is annoying from the other side!"
Connar couldn't help but laugh, which made her father raise a brow.
That was my last negate attack...
She thought to herself.
I better make my turn count!
She is in a stay or go match against her uncle who has practically steam rolled her from the beginning...
Kaiba blinked.
Yet, here she stands...laughing?
He couldn't help but crack a small smile as he leaned back in his seat.
This child...she's something else.
He chuckled.
Well sweetheart...show me what else you got.
"I said I would turn this game around this turn and I meant it!" she stated as she drew from her deck on the start of her turn.
"First, I am going to activate a spell card called Twin twisters!" she exclaimed,"By discarding one card it will allow me to target up to two spell and traps on the field and destroy them!" she explained,"I'm gonna choose the two you have face down on the field!"
"Oh no!" Mokuba gasped as he held his arms up defensively while his face downs went up in smoke,"Smart move..." he stated,"But it won't be enough to save you!"
"Oh, I think it might~!" she grinned," I'll start my assault by summoning Magician's valkyeria in attack mode!"
Magician's Valkiryia"
ATK: 1600
DEF:1800
"Next I will activate Monster reincarnation from my hand!" she claimed,"With it I can discard one card in order to bring back Kaibaman from the grave and put him back in my hand!" she stated,"And with him now out of the graveyard, I can then activate a continuous spell known as Solidarity!" she declared as she slapped down the card on the field,"With Solidarity so long as I have only one type of monster in my grave yard-in this case, spell caster- then every spell caster on my field will get an 800 point power boost!"
"800 points?" Mokuba blinked," That's a nice boost but you're still over powered!"
Magician's Valkyiria:
ATK: 1600-2400
DEF: 1800
"You're right...so long as Blue Eyes rules the field, I am over powered!" she said,"So I suppose I better get him off the field!" She grinned as she flipped over Old Vindictive Magician that she had set face down in a previous turn." You can consider this guy the "Man Eater Bug" of Spell Casters!" she giggled,"Once he's flipped up he can destroy one of my opponen's monsters...and guess which beast I choose?"
"AH-I don't...she found a way to destroy Blue Eyes!?" he covered his eyes as the mighty beast fell with Vindictive Magician's flip effect.
She got rid of my traps on the field so I couldn't save it-
he gritted his teeth and gave a subtle smirk behind his arms.
Well played...she's a smart player when her head is in the game!
"Thanks to Solidarity, he also gets the power boost!"
Old Vindictive Magician:
ATK: 450-1250
DEF: 600
"Now I will declared my attack!" she said,"I'll start by sending Magician's Valkyiria to attack your Griffore!"
"uh-oh, this might smart-" Mokuba gulped.
"And since I have a Spell Caster declaring an attack, I can activate my trap- Magician's Circle!"
"Magician's Circle?" Mokuba blinked.
"That's right, with the effect of Magician's Circle, when a spell caster type declares an attack, we can each special summon a spellcaster from our decks that has 2000 attack points or less-and the Magician I choose is my favorite-Dark Magician Girl~!" she beamed and giggled as her favorite Magician burst through the deck of cards in a storm of glitter and lights giggling her way into battle,"And with Solidarity's effect she will gain the attack boost too!" she winked.
Dark Magician Girl:
ATK:2000-2800
DEF: 1700
"W-Wait- both players!? Uhm uh- Spell caster, Spell caster" Mokuba fumbled around as he tried to sift through his deck. "I don't have any spell casters...WAIT! I do have one!" he stated as he threw down Magician of Faith.
Though she was the only spell caster he had.
Connar Giggled.
"I believe it's game over Uncle Mokey..." she said
"Haha...yeah I think you might be right." he chuckled,"But what a game it was~" he grinned. He couldn't defend his monsters since Connar took out his traps, so all he could do was hold ground while their monsters fought it out.
Magician's Valkyiria took out His griffore with a magic blast.
Magician's Valkiria
ATK: 2400
DEF: 1800
VS.
Griffore:
ATK: 1500
DEF: 1800
Mokuba: 2800-1900
Connar: 1800
Next, thanks to the power boost, Old Vindictive Magician now had the power to take on Krokodialus.
Old Vindictive Magician:
ATK: 1250
DEF: 600
VS.
Krokodialus:
ATK: 1100
DEF: 1200
Mokuba: 1900-1750
All that was left was Dark Magician Girl
ATK: 2800
DEF:1700
and Magician of Faith
ATK: 300
DEF: 400
Both specialed summoned in attack mode thanks to the effect of Connar's trap. It was her last attack, one that would end the game.
Mokuba: 1750 - 2500 LP- 0
"And that's...game..." she huffed, finally releasing a held in breath and collapsing to her knees in relief.
Mokuba: 0
Connar: 1800
"It sure is," Mokuba chuckled,"It was a close game, but you won." he stated,"I guess that means you get to stay here."
Connar looked up at her uncle and gave a weak smile but soon after, she swallowed hard at a lump that had formed and lodged in her throat as her father approached them, looking down at her with an icy blue gaze.
"She won the game, Seto." Mokuba said,"She even took down Blue Eyes...don't you think she deserves to stay here?"
"Hmmm..." Seto blinked and grumbled softly to himself, releasing a huff of a sigh as he crossed his arms," As a man of my word I suppose I have to follow our end of the bargain since you won..." he scoffed,"Besides...with the performance you gave, it seems you could use a little more studying."
She blinked awkwardly and and gulped, averting her gaze downward. Seto leered at his daughter's gestures from above and gave a heavy sigh before placing his palm fitted around the top of her head in a gentle pat.
"...You dueled well against your uncle." he said firmly,"But you need to brush up...so study hard."
"Yes...I understand...but, uhm?"
"What is it?"
"Uhm...my friends?"
He raised a brow and drummed his fingers on his arm.
"Given that they managed to survive their duels same as you, I suppose you can see them again."
She let out an excited gasp but was interrupted by her father once more.
"However need I remind you- Connar Rose, that Hell hath no fury like I do when enraged." he stated,"So you better not disobey me again." he huffed,"I do not want to be forced to come back here due to your misconduct...am I understood?"
"Y-yes sir." she gulped,"I understand."
"Good." he shot a serious glare that quickly put her in place. Her father didn't need a lot of words to express his emotions. He showed it well enough in his face and body language. As he leered on, his blue eyes softened up, as did he,"...Now get going." he said softly,"If you hurry, you might be able to catch your friends."
She blinked her baby blues and gave a soft smile.
"Thank you." she said softly, bowing respectfully before taking a quick footed leave toward the duel field.
"She really turned that around...didn't she Seto?" Mokuba chuckled as he watched his niece run ahead of them.
"Yes...she came back from behind. An unexpected turn of events." he smirked,"Perhaps my daughter has a future ahead of her after all..."
